Food Drive
Neighbors helping Neighbors

Throughout the fall the people of central Rhode Island have come together to answer the calls of their neighbors in need.

Food demands in our community have increased, and the Central Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce is asking you and your family, friends, employees and colleagues to join in the effort to help.

There are only a few weeks remaining for the Food Drive, and every donation helps. If you are willing to serve as a Drop Spot please let us know so that we can add you to the list.

Foods needed include:

Cereal                                     Canned Pastas
Canned beans/lentils           Pasta
Pasta sauce                          Tuna fish
Macaroni and cheese          Potatoes
Peanut butter and jelly       Soup
Canned vegetables              Fruits
Beef stew                              Cookies

Food collected from Warwick, Coventry, and West Warwick businesses will be distributed through Westbay Community Action, Inc.’s Market Place. All other food will be distributed to the community that it is collected from.

Food items can be delivered to the Central Rhode Island Chamber Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

To sign up as a participant, call 732-1100, fax to 732-1107 or email food@centralrichamber.com  All locations will be provided with a food drop sign and an invitation for you to send to your customers.
